Halle Berry officially joined Instagram and her first photo, naturally, is very sexy.
The 49-year-old actress posted her very first photo on the popular social media platform on Tuesday while topless and enjoying nature. She then posted the same photo to Twitter, which she also joined on Tuesday. While the photo is taken from the back and completely follows Instagram's strict no-nudity policy, she still looks gorgeous.
"Hi everyone. Welcome!" she captioned the shirtless shot. "Today is a very exciting day for me...I'm looking forward to sharing our world through images that reflect my emotions and perceptions. I am in awe of photography and its ability to capture and reflect this extraordinary would that we live in. I'm excited to share with you my love of nature, the arts, fashion and much more in the hopes that the images will inspire, promote conversation and bring you joy."
After being up for less than 10 hours, the photo had over 23,000 likes and Berry already had 113,000 followers. "'It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see' - Thoreau," her bio reads.
Back in 2010, Berry opened up about how comfortable she is with the human body and her sexuality. "I love the naked female form. I just feel like that's the most empowered position you can be in," she said of a statue of a naked woman in her living room. "She is standing tall in her nakedness, and she is just commanding the room. Everything revolves around her in the house. I love it."
She then went on to explain that she only became this confident over time. "That comes with age," she continued. "I've been slowly getting there. If the world wouldn't persecute me, I'd take nude pictures every day of the week."
She even has a framed photo of herself naked and pregnant in her home. "I was in Cabo San Lucas with Cliff, and there was a beach full of people. And I was like, 'I'm going to take my clothes off,' and he was like, 'No, HB, don't!' And I'm like, 'F--k it! Take the picture!' And I took my clothes off and I just ran down the beach. I could not have been happier in my life."
